"Red Army Bridge" Old Bridge and New Bridge.
In Tiesuozhen Village, Bugu Village Committee, Huangnihe Town, Fuyuan County, Yunnan Province, there is a "Red Army Bridge", named after the First Front Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army passing through the bridge on April 23, 1935 and resting in the village.
Today, the old bridge walked by the Red Army is still the same, the thick and regular stone patterns are clearly visible, and the bluestone steps full of years of polishing are picked up and down and up the steps to connect with the bridge deck of the new bridge, and everyone takes photos on the old bridge around the bridge, listening to the villagers on the new bridge to talk about the development and changes of the village over the past 80 years of the Red Army's Long March.

According to Wang Fuquan, a 78-year-old veteran party member, Tiesuozhen was the first village for the Red Army to enter Yunnan. Over the past 80 years, the village has undergone earth-shaking changes, before under the oppression of the reactionaries, everyone was worried, now everyone lives and works in peace, the thatched houses that used to be sheltered from the wind and rain have become small bungalows, and the poor mountains that were previously isolated from the world have communicated with spacious cement roads, used comfortable electricity, and drunk tap water...

Especially under the support of the policy of poverty alleviation and benefiting the people, Tiesuozhen has introduced ginger planting with superior climatic conditions and resource advantages, and more than 100 villagers in the village have increased their income to varying degrees from a few thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan through the cultivation of ginger, and after several years of development, the ginger industry has become a characteristic support industry for villagers to increase their income and become rich. At the same time, the training guides the remaining labor force in the village to go out of the village to develop as migrant workers, and further broadens the way for villagers to increase income.
In 2016, after the infrastructure of the village was comprehensively improved and the villagers achieved sustained and stable income increase through the development of characteristic planting and migrant workers, the once poor ravine was successfully lifted out of poverty. With the continuous release of the momentum of increasing income, today's iron lock basket has become a wealthy village.

In addition to these changes, the iron lock basket also has the same place, what remains unchanged is that the "Red Army Bridge" and the five-foot road that the Red Army walked through in those years are still there, the story of the water conditions of the military and the people is still passed down from generation to generation, and the villagers' ideals and beliefs of listening to the party, following the party, and being loyal to the party have always been the same.
Over the past 80 years, due to disrepair, some of the remnants left by the Red Army during the Long March through the village have disappeared. In order to protect the remaining red relics and inherit the red culture, in 2016, the village invested more than 400,000 yuan to strengthen and repair the relics, and improved the relevant supporting facilities, becoming the patriotic education base of the town. With more and more units and individuals going to the village every year to re-walk the Long March Road, attend party lessons, and commemorate revolutionary martyrs, the red tourism brand with iron locks has gradually gained fame.
Five Foot Road and Red Army Pavilion.
In addition to the red ruins such as the "Red Army Bridge" and the Five Foot Road, the natural scenery of the Iron Lock Basket is also very beautiful, and there is a clean and clear stream flowing in the village all year round, there are unique natural caves, and ancient trees with a history of hundreds of years. With these unique ecological resources, coupled with the fact that red tourism has gradually become a climate, Tiesuo village plans to gradually promote the development of rural tourism driven by red tourism, turn red resources into "red economy", turn ecological resources into "tourism economy", and at the same time inherit red culture, drive the further development of the village, so that villagers are richer and happier.
